Silk pillowcases…worth it?

[Blossom4538]

Are these any good?!! I’m now of a certain age and wake with creases on my face, which then don’t disappear for about two hours!

Also, heard they are good for the hair?
If they are recommended, are there any good ones, slightly cheaper than Blissy or are they best?!

thanks

I don't think they've done much for my hair but I am definitely waking up crease free these days! Plus they're just lovely to sleep on.

I love them. I'm also crease free. But spend the money and get decent ones. The satin ones aren't the same.

Yes, totally.

Proper silk ones, yes they're lovely, definitely worth it.

Yes

I didn’t find silk worth all the maintenance. I use pure bamboo and change them several times per week. Bamboo is really easy care.

Good for Afro hair , Helps keep it Smooth while sleeping as for wrinkles unless you have deep wrinkles I don’t see it making much difference . Most pillowcases are actually satin rather than real silk. And they’re not breathable

What's the best brand and price range to get silk pillowcases that really work?

Lily Silk are good and John Lewis.
I just throw mine into a normal wash by the way.
I always take one with me when I go away.

Thank you! I've been using satin pillowcases because silk isn't cruelty free, but I've been wanting to try a few different things as well.

Second the bamboo ones much better.

Suggestions for best ones to get?

Satin is NOTHING like silk and is usually cheap and nasty and synthetic.

I have only tried John Lewis silk pillowcases so can't comment on other makes but I'm really pleased with JL. Have several sets on the go cos i change them regularly and I've only had an issue with one set in 9 years. I too take them with me when I go on holiday (pillowcases, not pillows)

Third the bamboo ones. Soft and easy care.

I have this one:

Feels lovely, though I can't say I've noticed a difference.

Have used bamboo for a few years, easy to care for cruelty free and I never wake up with a creased face.

I bought two £40 silk ones from This is Silk's archive sale - seem good quality, very nice to sleep on and have washed well. Hair and skin both happier.

I have satin ones as have curly hair. Do seem to help my face as well.

Please tell me that they are good. I’ve just ordered one from John Lewis for DD’s Christmas present

Did you get the John Lewis one? I bought one recently and it's good! I finally replaced my 5 year old one (don't judge) and I really noticed the difference.

I get far fewer lines on my face and my hair is much more manageable. When I use a cotton one I get a massive line down my face

Satin is just as good for skin and hair.

@SporkAndMonday yes, I’ve chosen latte, hope DD will like it .
How did you wash it by the way?

Yes to silk pillowcases! They’re so much better for skin and hair. Also, less bacteria buildup than cotton.

I machine wash on 30. No problems with that at all.
